Quick notice from the aiki dimension

We did not do one kata form during the whole seminar. Only aiki and contact exercises and free waza. Endo Sensei was in a very good mood in spite that he needed a root canal on the first day of the seminar. This kind of practice is what makes the aikidokas soft, aware and sensible. If you only teach techniques, there will always be stiff people on the mat. More about that later. Tonight the open weekend seminar starts and tomorrow we will see some nice dan gradings. Now I need a short afternoon nap. I could easily get used to living this life; aikido, coffee, food, sleep, coffee, aikido, beer, sleep, aikido, food, coffee, aikido, sleep, coffee, aikido... All impregnated with great joy and loads of love...
